While I was not in favor of the hire, this comment is fricking stupid. I feel he was hired mainly due to his existing relationship to Aleva...plus he would work for less money.


if he had the exact same resumé but his name was Ed Smith from New Mexico, he would have had next to zero fan support and never would have been considered a serious candidate.

Actually, no you aren't...

Very very simple..at s predominantly black school, with s black coach..would a reporter/journa9 be able to say "....because they hired someone who talks like them"?

Yes or no

CONTEXT of what was said.

he’s not bashing O for being a coonass.
he’s not bashing LSU for hiring a coonass.

he’s bashing O for being a bad football coach.
he’s bashing LSU for hiring a bad football coach and publicly admitting that “one of us” was a huge factor.

“one of us” is not a reason to hire a guy.

you know why people didn’t question Ohio St for hiring an Ohio native?
because he’s a good coach.

had they passed on him and hired Billy Bob frickstick from Columbus, OH because he wears OSU underwear to work, then they would get fricking roasted.

I like CT but that’s an overreaction. ND was ranked higher, had a better season, and by all accounts more talent. If we were at full strength on defense that game is different.



You do realized ND had injuries and suspensions as well correct?

And no the talent argument is completely incorrect

Wait a damn minute. It’s not like they list to Troy again. ND at one point was a highly thought of team.

So # 17 goes down to the wire VS #15 and loses the lead late due to a missed tackle and that’s signs of “taking huge steps back”?

Clay Travis is a fraud and liar...so it is obvious in this case he calls it like he sees it.

If he were Ed Orgeron, defensive line coach from New Mexico, he doesn’t get the job.

That was poor play calling all around I was there sitting in the West club and heard all sorts of prominent Irish fans commenting on our QB. He missed bad several times and on the last play, it didn’t have a chance for a 1st down. Our star RB didn’t get a touch in the last drive either.Coach O will turn this around with a new QB and a new OC

The fact this very thread has extended out to 8 pages demonstrates how dominant CT and Outkick are in reaching mass audiences and how provocative and/or appealing his brand is. I mean we have people here literally flipping out over what an ex-practicing attorney(I presume he's still licensed) from Tennessee is arguing despite that he's not established in the media industry like Skip Bayless, Stephen A. Smith, Rush Limbaugh, etc are(at this point), it's simply fantastic. Keep it up tRanters!

Give me legit reasons to believe this. I’ve literally been begging you cheeriOs for 4 months now to give me legit reasons and the only thing I’ve heard is that we’re young. Give me more reasons. Please. Convince me. I want someone to make me believe that Ed Orgeron is the right man to steer the ship in the right direction. Because i believe he’s the right man to sink this ship.

I am starting the feel the same way. When they hired coach O I had mixed emotions because I really wanted a big name guy like Fisher or Herman but I was really happy for coach o I did not think he would get the job after the loss to Florida plus I know him personally. but right now I do not feel he the right guy for the job just being honest. Yesterday I was so disappointed when I saw the kicker coming on the field on the 4th down play. I told my father in law that we were going to lose.

We will fire him right before the Texas A&M game. The 19 class will be pillaged by Saban, Fisher, and Mullen.


They will get some but not all. Make the right hire in time and enough can be salvaged for a top 5 class.

I wish it wasn’t true, but I see no evidence of him being false.
